interface vlan (NPIV proxy gateway)
Create a dedicated VLAN to be used to send and receive Fibre Channel trac over FCoE links between servers and a fabric over an
Aggregator with the PMUX module of NPIV proxy gateway.
Syntax
interface vlan vlan-id
Parameters
vlan-id Enter a number as the VLAN Identier. The range is 1 to 4094.
Defaults Not congured.

Version Description
9.4(0.0) Introduced on the FN I/O Aggregator.
9.3(0.0) Introduced on the M I/O Aggregator.
Usage Information
FCoE storage trac received from servers on an M I/O Aggregator with the PMUX module NPIV proxy
gateway is de-capsulated into Fibre Channel packets and forwarded over FC links to SAN switches in a
specied fabric. You must congure a separate FCoE VLAN for each fabric to which FCoE trac is
forwarded. Any non-FCoE trac sent on a dedicated FCoE VLAN will be dropped.
You congure the association between a dedicated VLAN, which carries FCoE trac from server CNAs over
the NPIV proxy gateway to a SAN fabric in which destination storage arrays are installed, in an FCoE map by
using the fabric id vlan command.
When you apply an FCoE map to a server-facing Ethernet port, the port is automatically congured as a
tagged member of the FCoE VLAN.
For more information about VLANs and the commands to congure them, refer to the Virtual LAN (VLAN)
Commands section.

fcoe-map — creates an FCoE map which contains the parameters used in the communication between
servers and a SAN fabric.
pfc mode on
Enable the PFC conguration on the port so that the priorities are included in DCBX negotiation with peer PFC devices.
Syntax
pfc mode on
To disable the PFC conguration, use the no pfc mode on command.
Defaults PFC mode is on.
